Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

Why do you bottom feed through the news like a news carp? Incidents of this crap are very very rare.
When you clicked on the link to this forum did it say "Happy Hour at the NDP Caucus Lounge" anywhere in the URL?
I didn't. I'm merely saying that putting a label on something negative (and in this case extremely negative) can lead to people getting harmed or discriminated against because of how they look or who they are. This is especially harmful when people in powerful positions do it.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

Really? You can't think of one instance of you defending Trump? Or making excuses for him?
hahahahaha


Yep, I defended him a couple of times against the incessant and insane denigrations, made by people who have nothing else to occupy what they consider to be their minds. :)

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

Seems to me if a Trump supporter says Chinese Virus, it's racist. It's just another Trump "thing" to vilify both him and his supporters for, making them look like the victims... see a trend? Trump is not a stupid man, he knows exactly what he's doing and the public (as programmed) falls on either side of their respective lines and fight the fight. Trump is simply the flint.

Is it wrong to call it the Chinese Virus? I don't know and frankly I don't care. There are much bigger fish to fry concerning this virus other than what it's called. Was it in poor taste for Trump to say these words? I can say yes just as easily as anyone can say no, so who's right and who's wrong? Does it matter? Does it change anything? Who gets the gold star. Looking back over the video it's obvious that Trump paused and looked up before saying the words, so I do think he knew it would get a strong reaction. Did he want that reaction? Yep, probably did. I think he gets a kick out of pissing off the left and then watching his base come to his defense. "We" or they (as in Americans) are all just pieces being moved around a board.
As I have said all along , Trump pulls the media’s string like a marionette and they jump every time.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

Obsesses or can't escape his omnipresence in the media the world over. Since the very day he announced his run, he has been the top news story most every day. I guess it's a choice whether or not to pay attention but lets face facts, this guy is a car wreck on top of a train crash next to a downed plane in a hurricane. And we, for the most part, can't look away.
Or maybe it is the media who are the train wreck . Have you checked the falling ratings and the loss of print subscription?

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

Or we can just call it Covid-19 or Corona Virus. Even though some people have stopped buying Corona because they think it has the virus which sort of proves my point about stigmatisation.
Yes that would be bad for the Mexican economy .

Just a note about your note of bio weapons, certainly you no doubt remember the flinging of infected bodies over city walls in the good old days.

I would say more like a rocket launch, or a Gretzky on the political rink, or a Babe Ruth posting where the ball will go in the stands.
